Storing Your Garden Tools

Organizing Your Tools Makes Gardening Easier

Nothing bothers me more than to have a job to do in the garden and having to search high an low for the tool that I need to get the job done. I walk around scratching my head and wondering where I put that rake or my pruners. “It is in the garage somewhere,” I think to myself but where! So, the other day I said to my husband, “We need a better system to store our garden tools!”

Well, I found the solution for us and I thought you might like this idea, too. Goodness gracious, me oh my, I think I’ve hit the jackpot with this find!

I can store up to 40 tools in one place and it won’t take up much room in the garage, either. It is only about 3 feet long by 3 feet tall and 18 inches wide. It has casters that I can roll it around easily to a new spot if I need to and it is made of resin so it is not going to rust. Being able to pull it out easily to sweep the floor is an added bonus to me. You know how the garage just seems to accumulate dust and leaves and stuff so being able to roll it out of the way to sweep and then roll it back sounds wonderful to this gardener.

I love the way the long handled tools like my shovels, brooms and rakes snap into a fitting in the side so that there is no trying to pull the tool up high enough to get it out! I also love that the bottom is grooved so that things like my snow shovel are not going to slip and slide around when I move the cart. Shoot, there is even an area for the weed eater that has a place to keep the cord out of the way.

No more wondering where my garden tools are, I will be able to go to the space and pick my tools. It won’t be difficult to put the tools away either, just go to my handy dandy tool tower and voila I’m done.
